[Q] Augmented reality app - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello people,
I was wondering if there is any program that can create and view the mobile augmented reality.
The objective is to do a tattoo with the image of a symbol that would reproduce with the help of an application on my phone, a 3D animated image.
But I do not know how to program in mobile platforms, need some help to create a method that can easy change my animation tattoo..
Maybe later if work, we make one aplication to put in the market and create a new style of tattoo
Can anyone help with this?
Regards

Do you have enough money to invest to this project? (you may count the good freelance dev rate is about $60/h, rough estimate is about 3 month = 60*40*4*3)
P.S. Leme answer on my question: of course, you don't. Just like a naive (and stupid) posts on craigslist: "Write a iPhone killer app for me for free, and I'll share my profit with you - up to %40!")

i know that, that´s why i was asking if there is anyone who already trie to do something like this.
I already use this tools, but for a website not for a mobile phone.

we already have this website, telling how to do augmented reality, but not for phone..

You may try ScanSearch http://www.scansearch.com/wp7/ (lookup xda for "lg applications" ). As for me, it's not much useful (truly - completely useless ;-) ). Tried a couple of times in real world situation - for example, I was looking for public restroom in the Boston downtown area - no results at all. I thought, the whole concept of "augmented reality" except very specialized apps such as museum guide etc. is a BS.

I think you are looking for this:

Co-Ordinates Application

Hi All,
Thought i'd ask for help instead of just replying
I have a casio FX-795P personal computer (showing my age here.....) and of course this machine uses BASIC (those were the days.. haha). I have written a couple of short programs that help me in my day job to work out co-ordinates, bearings & distances (im a site engineer). Whilst the casio does a great job of this, i would like a programme on my Touch Cruise to save having to carry two devices round.
Does anyone know of a a free app that does this? Or could someone write one? I can pm anyone with the BASIC programme to help and of course i will test & donate
Many thanks to XDA!!
How exactly do you calculate the distances? i might be able to send you a link to something of that sort..
but please explain EXACTLY what you need

Hi nir36
Thanks for the reply and excuse me for not explaining myself in too much detail at the start. The app can work both ways:
1/ It is possible to work out co-ords for unknown point B, from known A co-ords and the known bearing and distance using a simple equation.
2/ and obviously working out the unknown bearing and distance from known co-ords from point a & b.
ideally the app should also have a section for simple pythag; a2+b2=c2.
The app would have an initial screen with 3 choices:
1. New Co-ords (as 1/ above)
2. Distance & Bearing (as 2/ above)
3. Pythag
Hitting any of 1,2 or 3 above would then take you to a seperate screen where you would input the known data to which the result is then given.
If you are interested I will add the BASIC programs to this thread for your interpratation. I would be very interested in how to get started for writing simple apps for WM devices, as i have many ideas..... Dummies guide
Thanks for your interest.
unfortunatly i'm not a developer.. but i do implement PDA packs for facilities..
i'm not familiar with anything that does that.
that is, of course you can compute distances between 2 sets of coords using a simple GPS app like iGO.. but i realize that's not the point.
there's an app called GPSToday which can get 2 sets of coords on a virtual map and tell you the distance between them.. but i'm not sure if it requires a GPS or not.. you can check it out, it's free.
concerning pythag.. i haven't the slightest clue if there's something out there that does that.
i have one suggestion tho, if you're willing to pay for such an app considering it doesn't require much coding (as i see it),
open a new thread in the Development & Hacking offering a sum of money for developers to develop this app for you.
there are many developers here and i'm sure some of them are looking for cash
cheers.
Nir36,
Thanks for the advice, i will post a thread there. My idea would not need the use of GPS as the results are from simple set equations that just need a couple of variables inputted to get the result.
Yes you are correct in saying the coding would not be involved as i have written it in basic and it would just need a little development to bring it on.
Cheers Nir36.

[Q] How to make an Android app?

Hello people
I've wanted to make a Android app for a while now but I don't know where to start.
Can someone give me some pointers on where to start.
If it involves coding then be warmed I'm a complete novice at that.
No coding method: search Google for Android app inventor.
Coding and better method: Android apps use JAVA. Take some basic online courses, then learn the Android sdk. (functions that are specific to android)
Option b is better, and if you have a little patience it won't be too hard.

If you want to get somewhere forget the app inventor and invest some time.
Start by using google on terms like "android tutorial" "android hello world".
Download eclipse and the android sdk (google has all the info and tutorial on how to do that).
The sdk has ALOT of very good example apps. From 3D drawing to system infos and interface layouts.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Google app inventor is doing my head in.
if anyone is reading this on a scale from 1 to 10 how hard/complicated is making a app using coding?
Depends entirely on what you want the app to do unfortunately. If you can give some basic ideas of what you want it to do it will be easier to say how hard it will be.
well all id like my first app to do is when it starts up to show a picture with text then link you to a web page.
Nothing hard
Thats not too difficult, you could patch work something out of existing tutorials/example.
But its always relative saying how difficult something is.
It depends on the person...
Well sorry that's not helping much. I'm still at a loss on what to do.
Basically all you need to do is copy and paste the code from some tutorial examples, or you could even use the app inventor as you need barely any code to do this, for example:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/index.html
http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html
Putting it all together and making it into an application shouldn't take you more than half an hour once you have gone through the starter tutorials to understand how and what it is you are using.
Ok I'll try that.

omg
i really wanna learn, so i went to purchase course and
DescriptionsAmount
Diploma in Java Programming.Diploma in Java Programming.
$1,695.00Item price: $1,695.00
$1,695
are you serious??
Well if you are really determined to learn it, you can manage doing it on your own too, with the help of free online resources. Search for a tutorial series on youtube. Here's one I had found useful when I was learning:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl-zzrqQoSE
You should also buy a good book on Java programming and read it. That would help a lot too.
read android developers guide
You can check android developers official site it has lot of tutorials and resources.
You can go to next university library and borrow any Android book. It will not include the latest version of OS, but it will have lot of fundamental information in one place, written by one person. Tutorails often show you how to solve single problem only.
Thank you
Also great video
You're Welcome! Yes it is a great video. That guy really does explain it nicely.
Is App Inventor still working?
Look also at cornboyz tutorial on youtube. Same guy, slightly different tuts

Looking for programmer/developer

I'm having trouble finding the right way to locate someone in assisting me with my inquiry... I have an idea for an application, but don't know where to really start. I need to speak to someone who has the brains, patience, and desire to listen. The application would be something that every single employer, company, agency, or individual could benefit from. Anyone willing to contact me via text or email? My name is Jordan.
sorry to break this to you bud, but ideas are like a**holes... everybodys got one.
best way to go about it if you really do believe you have a good idea and are driven to bring it to fruition is to learn to program yourself.
here are some resources:
teach yourself programming in ten years:
http://norvig.com/21-days.html
how to ask good questions:
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
wikibooks has material on many programming topics:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Subject:Computing
.... and if you really want to cop out:
rentacoder.com
good luck on your journey
I may get told off by the hardcore devs who know eclipse and java much better than I but if you want to write apps yourself but are new to it you can use a windows program called basic4android which lets you program in a visual basic type language that is very easy to learn and it then compiles it to proper apk file (no interpreter but a proper standalone market ready app).
I started using it last year and was able to code all sorts of apps from games to anti theft ones quite quickly, and it has a great user support forum.
It might be a good option to try as it is easy to learn but very powerful and means you could put your ideas into action yourself

I figured that would be the response I would get haha Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate the links.
Good Luck Finding Someone!
I still need a developer I can talk to so they can tell me whether this kind of app would be possible to create. Is there anyone on here that would be willing to contact me?
Google programming freelance
Google "programming freelance" and you will find lots of freelancing sites, I personally used odesk in the past, I had mixed success, my biggest problem was the heavy Indian accent, some things are just easier to say verbally then in writing, but if I dont understand his accent, this can be a problem

[Q] Making an Augmented Reality Android App

Hello, This is my first post on XDA and I am sorry if this is the wrong forum for posting this question.
I am a computer engineering student and I willing to make an augmented reality browser for android as a graduation project(something like Layar and Wikitude); however, I want to make it from scratch(without using any Augmented Reality API like the ones Layar provide), I want the application to be smart and to be able to detect stuff through image recognition and back it up with locations provided through GPS and I am willing to use Google Maps API for fetching Points of interest and other APIs for different uses...
I have very basic android programming experience and average java programming experience. I am going to work in a group of two and I have a 10 month period to make the app.
The question I hope any of XDA developers would help me answer is :
Can it be done or do I have to look for another graduation project? If yes, what materials(books, tutorials,...) should I start searching for if I want to make this project better?
I appreciate any help regarding this question...
Sorry for my bad English...
Sounds good.
Yes, I do think it is possible. And by the way, great Idea for a project. I know someone in my university that did something similar. And seeing as google provides image search, you could borrow google's service for that image thing you mentioned.
Augmented reality is becoming a massive business and it will be interesting to see what you come up with.
Sorry if this isn't what you wanted but this is all my experience in augmented stuff combined to answer your question. But nothing is impossible. As a heads up This project may be a lot of work.
What computer languages do you know?

Thank you so much for your assistance. I have an average knowledge in Java and C languages.If it is not much trouble, can you ask the person who did it in your university about the best resources to start with in order to achieve a good application.
Also, Thanks a lot for the great tip about using Google image search.
Will do when he gets back from China . Haven't seen him for nearly a year. Apparently he is doing some sort of martial arts course.
You finished the work or you chose other subject for the degree project?

[Q] IOS development HELP

hello to you all.
I have a few questions regarding the development of ios app. I have no knowledge of this, I do know how I want the final product.
Now I know not all that I ask is probably legal, but this is of course only question
Is it possible to combine several different apps available in the appstore for a common app
app should in theory not be sold, but only serves to make my life easier. so must the app not going to lie down in the app store
Should the device (iPad) jailbreakes for this to be done?
the developer must be present in order to be able to program, or it can be done far away from me. We're talking about apps that are made for home automation.
can anyone help with a bit her tongue in my thoughts?
it would be super cool if there was someone who had the time and energy to look at my plans and see if it was realistic?

Hi Peter,
Well your idea is not quite clear to me. From whatever little I understood from your post is that you want a home automation app that is a mixture of many different apps available in the app store. As you clearly know that duplicating app designs without proper permissions is a crime. There are many home automation apps already available in the market. Having said that, if you still want your app to be custom-made to suit your needs, I can help you. I am an iOS developer new york and have built quite a few home automation apps. We can make a custom app suited for your needs. If you can elaborate your requirements, it would be possible to chalk out a plan and see whether your plans are realistic or not.
